Cannot connect to Sharepoint Online. (Is there a site collection setting required?)

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 39

We recently migrated to Sharepoint online.

I was excited at the prospect of useing flow to solve an issue that was introduced after migrating to Sharepoint online.

I was going to attempt to have an email to my outlook online account generate an item in a sharepoint list.

Individually I can log into both services rather seemlessly. But when I attempt to connect ot a list (Neither the root site nor my subsite show up in the drop) when I type in the URL it returns an auth failure.

I am trying to determin if this is something within my control or if it is a restriction we've applied on our instance.

 

Thanks for any help.

    I don't think there really was one. This was early in the implementation and there were a lot of moving parts. In the back end both MS and is the company I work for were making modifications. I dont know if someone on my side hadn't gotten to a permissioning step or if MS fixed some kind of backend issue. I never marked it solved for the same reason you are asking, my only solution was that the next day it worked. As I hadn't contacted our support over it I am unaware of any activity on our side, but I can't discount it either.

     

    Sorry for the limited info. 

    I didn't want to mark this solved because there really was no instruction on what to do and so I didn't want someone coming to this post thinking there was a TS guide to a solution.

    Okay, so where is the solution?  There is no information here other than it didn't work, and now it does.

     

    Microsoft: Please post the solution

    Magic,  I am now able to connect to both and successfully built the flow. Tomorrow I will know if it worked.

    Hi I_like_PI,

     

    Just tested, I can connect to my SharePoint online lists without any problem:

    I saw some other post stating the same issue before. I think there might be some updates in the background of flow earlier that causes this issue. Please try again now.

    Same here.  This worked yesterday.  I get "Could not retrieve values. Failed to fetch: Site url"

     

    BTW - I can't connect to Google Sheets.  OneDrive Personal and others.  I get "failed to fetch".
